I recently created "causes" at Facebook and MySpace entitled
"Pro****tional Representation-based Socialism". Causes can be used to
raise money as well as awareness, but I'm not using that facility. You
can, however, join the cause, invite others to join it too and/or
display it on your profile.
If you are registered at Facebook, you can find the cause at
http://apps.facebook.com/causes/causes/show/92363?m=8905f&recruiter_id=14875654
You can also find the cause at MySpace at
http://www.causes.com/myspace/causes/92373?recruiter_id=14875654.
On each social networking site I've provided the following details:
Mission
To struggle for socialist societies around the world with governments
elected using the single transferable vote (STV) form of pro****tional
representation (PR).
Positions
The capitalist economic system that currently dominates the world is
primarily run in the interests of big business.
Soaring food and fuel prices are already causing millions of people to
starve or freeze to death.
Ordinary working and middle class people must overthrow our capitalist
bosses and politicians, to create democratic socialist societies.
Everyone should have an equal say when electing our rulers, although
there may be some degree of workers' control of industry.
STV is the fairest electoral system since it avoids the need for
tactical voting and lets voters choose between candidates from the
same party.
Description
Using the STV electoral system, voters can allocate preferences to
various candidates in their constituency.
If a voter's first preference is eliminated, his or her vote is
transferred to that person's second choice, and so on for remaining
preferences.
If a voter's first preference gets more votes than required to be
elected, a pro****tion of his or her vote is transferred to that
person's second choice, and so on.
Votes should be counted by hand rather than by computers, so that
scrutineers can check that electoral fraud is not taking place - like
George W Bush's "victory" over John Kerry in 2004 (see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/us-electoral-fraud).
The creator of this "cause", Steve Wallis, is the founder of the
Foundation for PR-based Socialism - see http://www.PRsocialism.org
